In the Côte-d'Or department, a father of a middle school student was questioned by authorities after allegedly making threats against the school principal. The man was placed under judicial supervision and is scheduled to stand trial on March 1st of next year. The incident occurred in the town of Chenôve, where he is accused of making threatening statements by phone to the principal of "Le Chapitre" middle school. The allegations were confirmed by local media outlets ICI Bourgogne and Le Bien Public.
According to initial reports, the father contacted the school principal in an attempt to get the contact information of another student’s parents. This request came after his daughter had a disagreement with that student. When the principal refused to provide the information, the man reportedly said, “I will be very violent if you do not give me the parents' number.” This statement led to the police being alerted and a formal complaint being filed.
The father was arrested at his home and taken into custody. He appeared before the Dijon prosecutor’s office on Friday, where he was charged with “threats of crime or offense against a person entrusted with a public service mission.” This charge applies to individuals who make threats against someone performing a public duty, such as a school principal. The court decided to place him under judicial supervision while awaiting his trial.
The case has raised concerns about the handling of conflicts between parents and school authorities. While the father’s actions were clearly inappropriate, the situation highlights the need for clear communication and procedures in dealing with such disputes. His trial is set for March 1st next year, where the court will determine the full extent of his legal responsibility.
